I’ve always wanted to have a ‘life-style’.

I’m not 100% certain I even know what a life-style is, but from time to time I think I may stumble into one only to find that I’ve stumbled back out of it a short time later.

Before Tanya and I had kids, I think we had a modicum of a life-style.  We certainly had more available income.  Our satellite package had quite a few more channels in it than it does now.  We ate out more often (and not just at McDonald’s thank you very much!) and we enjoyed date nights regularly.  Getting away from the pressures of life simply meant not focussing on our work.

Stephen Covey is one of my favourite authors.  I enjoy his work so much that I will be ordering a copy of his infamous “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” for each of our parish staff.
